The Country Mouse

There's nothing like a trip to the country to bring out the 'Country Mouse' in me.

Newly cut corn fields are filled with 100's of crows & blackbirds... all making a ruckus.

Blackberry hedges run all along the roads... they're impentrable unless you're a mouse.

Clouds in the river...

An aged & bent old maple tree has seen many a Halloween night.

I always come home and start looking through the real estate ads... until gradually I remember I'm still probably a City Mouse, despite my inklings. But it sure is nice to visit on a sunny autumn afternoon.

Where are you finding this 'country'? I'm always amazed that the farms seem to start up as soon as one crosses outside of King County... I'm always hugely tempted as well. Until I start calculating the driving times to anywhere more 'civilized'... Wish one could have both!
